if you have an automatic you won't find any cai's. they only have cai's for manual transmissions. and try searching better, i know i've personally looked this up on this site before when I was a noob.

It doesn't matter. First they don't make enough power to notice and two if you do get one make sure to get the water valve (don't remember what its called) to prevent hydro lock. Just get a Turbo if your looking for power and don't worry about it!

its called a bypass valve and its not necessary unless u plan on driving into supersized puddles of water that will completely submerge the filter.

Unless u live in florida or in the hurricane country you don't need the bypass valve.

Just be smart when its pouring rain during a thunderstorm.

meh, im going to go AGAINST popular opinion here and say go for it. I got the Injen RD series intake and its both a CAI and a SRI. Ive had it for 2 years and im finally boosting. So if you just want some sound, just get the engine. It might just be a stick on a filter but im all for quality parts, no matter how little they do.

It won't fit properly. Hence the reason why they say its only for the Manual Transmission.
You need to buy a CAI that is made for Automatic Transmission.

i just put a cold air intake (from ebay) on my 2002 civic lx coupe 5 speed.. and man does it sound sick.. ive definently gotten a horsepower increase also.. but the problem with the ebay cold air intake is that it had two pieces, and only one of them could fit on to the engine.. so its like short ram right now, but whatever its good
